My work setup is a Windows XP host, running an Ubuntu VM LAMP stack. I am using PhpStorm to edit my code on my host Windows machine. Upon saving files are automatically uploaded to the VM via SFTP. Everything works for this process, except debugging.
I have setup PhpStorm to have a server named "UbuntuVM" with the following settings:
Debugger:
- XDebug
Debug session settings:
- Break at the first line
- Wait for connection with ide key: XDEBUG_PHPSTORM
Before launch:
- Upload files to selected server
I am using Chrome with Xdebug Helper, and have set the extension to use "Other" as the IDE, with "XDEBUG_PHPSTORM" as the key.
The VM has the following in the php.ini:
zend_extension="/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xdebug.so"
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_host=10.1.6.22
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.collect_params=On
xdebug.show_local_vars=On
When I set a break point in my IDE, enable the debugger in Chrome, and reload the page, I never hit the break point; and the IDE says "Waiting for connection on port 9000 with ide key 'XDEBUG_PHPSTORM'".
Does anyone have any idea why I'm not hitting my break points?
Comes to find out that xdebug.remote_host isn't needed, rather, use xdebug.remote_connect_back=1.

I have a remote machine where runs an Apache Server. I want to use Xdebug on my local machine, using PhpStorm, to debug the PHP files located in my remote server.
Here is what I did on my remote Ubuntu server :
1. apt-get install php7.2-xdebug
2. Go to /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini and add :
[xdebug]
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20180731/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM
xdebug.remote_host=<my local machine IP without braces>
xdebug.remote_log="/var/log/xdebug.log"
xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM
3. Restart Apache server /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
4. When I create a script with echo phpinfo(); in it, it shows that Xdebug has been installed "correctly" (I guess) : it shows an Xdebug section with all the variables.
5. In PhpStorm, I set a breakpoint on a file, and I start listening to incoming debug sessions, I verify this by doing a netstat query that returns that my Mac has its process PhpStorm listening to port 9000
6. In Chrome browser, I download the extension Xdebug, and I open my script, where I added the breakpoint. The mapping between this file that I open in Chrome and the local files is correct.
7. I tap the button "debug" in the Chrome extension, it becomes green. I verified, the cookie is correctly sent as http headers has XDEBUG_SESSION=PHPSTORM
Despite all of this, I cant achieve to have any incoming session on PhpStorm.
I tried to see file /var/log/xdebug.log that I registered to be the log file of Xdebug, but this file is empty....
Did I forget something ? I have no idea what to do its been 8 hours I'm on it I have seen all post related to it on StackOverflow but nothing worked for me (I can't even manage to have something in /var/log/xdebug.log so I could see deeper what's going on). I have no idea if Xdebug is doing something when it receive my HTTP request.
you phpstorm'configure is maybe error.
I'm on Windows and I'm trying to debug a Web application (hosted with Vagrant/Homestead) using PhpStorm through XDebug. I tried many configurations but I can't get things working. The PhpStorm XDebug setup is pretty common.
This is the current xdebug configuration:
vagrant#homestead: /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini
zend_extension=xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable = on
xdebug.remote_connect_back = on
xdebug.idekey='PHPSTORM'
In the IDE "Start listening for PHP debug connections" it's turned on. When I attempt to start debugging a new chrome tab opens and the URL ends, for example, with ?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=16588 but the debugger doesn't run and this is what the IDE says:
Also, netstat says the port 9000 is still listening.
Any idea?
You are changing the 20-xdebug.ini file for the Command Line Interface (CLI). Instead you need to change the /etc/php/7.0/apache2/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini for the Apache settings, since you are using Chrome.
UPDATE
I'm not sure of the differences between Apache and Nginx (which may be /etc/php/7.0/fpm/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini), but here is how I got it working with a VirtualBox VM running Apache, on a Windows computer.
Settings for 20-xdebug.ini:
zend_extension=xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_host=192.168.1... (your windows IP address within your network)
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.autostart=1
I'm moreless new with this kind of things, I'm trying to setup xdebug to debug a laravel project I'm developing in my Ubuntu 16.04, I have installed sublime text with the package control and the xdebug client, I installed from apt-get the packages
php (7.0) php-xdebug php-all-dev php-fpm
the laravel project already works with the comand
php artisan serve
I saved the sublime text 3 project with the code
{
"folders":
[
{
"follow_symlinks": true,
"path": "."
}
],
"settings": {
"xdebug": {
"url": "http://localhost/",
}
}
}
my /etc/php/7.0/fpm/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini is:
zend_extension=xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_port = 8000
xdebug.remote_log="/var/log/xdebug/xdebug.log"
I dont know if I need to use the "php artisan" to debug or just with the xdebug plugin in sublime text, nothing apear to work
any ideas?
thanks for everything
Here is my config for xdebug:
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/modules/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.idekey="netbeans-xdebug"
xdebug.remote_autostart=1
Note the remote_autostart, which made all my debugging work correctly.
I don't use sublime, but this config worked correctly in Atom, PhpStorm, VSCode and Netbeans, and I assume it will work virtually for all compatible debugger clients. Make sure that the port, host and idekey fields are the same in sublime and your config file, that's all.
The thing is, you have to know how xdebug works. Then you can set it up everywhere easily.
xdebug works but connecting to the remote_host and remote_port you specify in its config. That means, when a PHP script is going to be executed, first, if loaded, xdebug tries to connect to that address. If a compatible debugger is listening on the other side, then connection is made, and the debugger can do its debugging. Note that, xdebug, as in sockets terminology, is a client to your server (ide, debugger, ...). So your ide must be listening first, before PHP script is executed. In sublime, find something like listening for connections.
For debugging if problem is with your ide or xdebug itself, you can use debugclient, a tool that acts as a server for xdebug. Just run debugclient and execute a PHP script, with xdebug loaded (which seems you have it). If it shows that connection is made, than sublime has a configuration problem. If not, check xdebug config again, and make sure everything is ok.
I have seen systems where debugclient is not installed by default. You can also test with nc -l 9000 or whatever port to test it too.
I am trying to debug with NetBeans Mac locally.
This is my php.ini
[xdebug]
xdebug.default_enable=1
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_autostart=1
xdebug.remote_log="/Applications/MAMP/logs/xdebug.log"
xdebug.idekey="netbeans-xdebug"
zend_extension="/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/xdebug.so"
This is what I had been getting in xdebug.log
I: Connecting to configured address/port: localhost:9000.
E: Could not connect to client. :-(
I try changing the port to 9001 and turn off firewall and it didn't help.
Xdebug's default port (9000) conflicts with FastCGI (Xdebug was first!) - the solution is to change it to another port. After having done that, you need to restart your IDE where you will also need to configure the new port. You will also need to restart PHP and your Web Server.
Step 1:
Change xdebug.remote_port=9000 to xdebug.remote_port=9001
Step 2:
Change the debugging port in Netbeans. Go to Tools >> Options >> Click PHP tab
Under PHP tab click debugging
Change the debugger port : 9001
Change Session ID : netbeans-xdebug
Step 3:
Restart server and netbeans
Step 4:
Set a breakpoint and try
I had exact the same problem.
The xdebug installion wizard (https://xdebug.org/wizard.php) showed that my xdebug was correctly installed. (The wizard told me to install the Xdebug 2.5.0rc1 dll)
In phpinfo I also got a xdebug section showing (in my opinion) the correct values. Even with this I got a "could not connect to client" message in the error log.
Eventually I solved it by trial and error doing the following:
Downloaded all the older versions of the xdebug dll's for my php version and tried them all. Eventually one of them worked. For me it was with php 5.6.8 the xdebug 2.4.1 dll (PHP 5.6 VC11 TS (32 bit) ) on a windows 7 32 bit machine. I am using xampp-win32-5.6.8-0-VC11.zip for my xampp installation.
What I learned was the following:
(a) The Xdebug wizard does not neccesarily give the correct dll to use
(b) Even though phpinfo shows a Xdebug section with correct variables this does not necessarily mean that it is correct.
(c) Try older versions of the dll's if you get this error.
I'm trying to use XDebug in the following scenario
Physical Host on Windows 7, with Netbeans 7.1.1
Virtual guest on Ubuntu, with Apache server and PHP 5.3.10
the PHP code of my website is on a shared folder on Ubuntu, in /var/www/mysite
the PHP code is accessible from my Windows host, on \\guestIP\mysite, with R/W permissions
Website accessible from http://mysite.local.fr, from both host and guest
I created a Netbeans project from my Windows Host, pointing to \\guestIP\mysite.
In the project Run configuration, I have the following:
Run as: Local web server
Project URL: http://mysite.local.fr
Index file: index.php (does exist in the project)
In the Advanced Run Configuration:
I checked "Ask every time" (I also tried using "Do not ask" and starting the browser with the session key myself)
I tried setting '/var/www/mysite' - \\GuestIP\mysite for the mapping (and tried using nothing as well)
I haven't touched the proxy settings
I have the following in the php.ini on my Ubuntu VM
xdebug.remote_enable = on
xdebug.profiler_enable = off
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = off
xdebug.profiler_output_name = cachegrind.out.%t.%p
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = /tmp
;xdebug.remote_host=localhost,<HostIP>, mysite.local.fr
xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.idekey="netbeans-xdebug"
xdebug.remote_mode=req
None of this works, Netbeans does not stop at any breakpoint from Windows.
Debugging directly from my VM with Netbeans works fine.
Can someone tell me how to get my debugger to work remotely from Windows?
Thanks
Sorry, i can't comment anymore. #David #JamesB41: I've been looking for this too. My setup is a Windows 7 host with NetBeans 7.1, and an Ubuntu VM in VirtualBox. I have the NetBeans project set up as a remote project, uploading and downloading using SFTP.
The following setup works for me, just use your host's IP as remote_host, and make sure the VM can see it.
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_host=10.217.165.193
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_log="/tmp/log/xdebug.log"
NetBeans will stop at the entry point breakpoint (if you have the option set in PHP->Debugging). But, it won't stop on NetBeans-created breakpoints, because its running off the VM's files. You can use xdebug_break() though, and it will show stack and variables. It will stop at NetBeans breakpoints and highlight if you map the folders correctly in project config > Run Config > Advanced. Awesome. I am complete.
(The connect_back config didn't seem to help, possibly because $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] isn't populated.)
Go through the below document for remote debugging using NetBeans. Very helpful.
http://stuporglue.org/setting-up-xdebug-with-netbeans-on-windows-with-a-remote-apache-server/
In know this is old but a good reminder. Make sure if you are using nat in virtualbox that you set port forwarding on the xdebug port back to the local machine typically 9000 by default.
Another option is to have the VM configured to speak to its own localhost:9000 (default for xdebug) and then ssh in from host to VM and establish a port tunnel for that port back to the host machine. Then your host machine debugger simply connects to localhost:9000 and everything should work exactly as if they were running on the same machine.

Debugging remotely with Linux + Apache + PHP + xdebug + NetBeans (SFTP)
I've got the following setup and it works.
Host PC (client)
Linux Debian Jessie **
NetBeans version 8.0.2
NetBeans has a project created as "PHP Application from Remote
Server", that has to be debugged
NetBeans connects to Remote Server using SFTP
IP (for example): 192.168.0.2
** I am aware that the OP question mentions Windows, but regarding that the main setup to solve this should be made on the VM, I hope this helps somebody anyway.
Guest PC (server) / Virtual Machine
Linux Debian Jessie
Apache
PHP 5.6
xdebug 2.2.5
IP (for example): 192.168.0.1
The following steps should be made on the "Guest PC (server) / Virtual Machine"
install xdebug sudo apt-get install php5-xdebug
edit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini,
add these lines right before the [Date] AND change xdebug.remote_host to reflect your "Host PC (client)" IP:
[debug]
; Remote settings
xdebug.remote_autostart=off
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=192.168.0.2
xdebug.remote_port=9000
restart apache sudo service apache2 restart
Reference
How to configure XDebug - Remote Debuging http://wiki.netbeans.org/HowToConfigureXDebug#Remote_Debuging
you need to have correctly configured property xdebug_remote.host on
remote machine. The IP address of local machine has to be defined in
this property. For example, you want to debug your source code on
remote machine 192.168.0.1 using Netbeans installed on 192.168.0.2.
You need to change xdebug.remote_host on 192.168.0.1 to
xdebug.remote_host=192.168.0.2. If doesn't work verify you have port
configured in xdebug.remote_port open on both machines.
If all seems to be correct but you still get "Waiting For Connection" from inside netbeans you should try in your php.ini settings
xdebug.remote_connect_back=on
as it allows connection from ANY ip or look at a lot more info on the issue http://www.devside.net/wamp-server/netbeans-waiting-for-connection-netbeans-xdebug-issue
